What I plan on doing and the reason I'm doing it is modding the original file as the file that came with Taters mod always came up with "message content" when Pearl was attacked. This drove me nuts. My first attempt was using the file from Taters mod but the same thing happened. Something somewhere was triggering the message but with nothing showing. One I get this completed, I will do one of two things, hand over the mod to Tater and he can add the lines and or, Tater can just send me the date and what message to add. In theory, the mod should work as it should within Taters workings. I love Taters mod also and ultimately this is what I want to work because Taters starts you before the war and it clips the sub types at each base you can use. Just over all more logic in the shipping.

sounds like a plan then.

Great idea AVGWarhawk,

A few months ago, I was tinkering with a coded and decoded version of Radio Messages via the ECOPTC utility by Kim Rønhof:
The Electronic Cipher officer for PTC (ECOPTC).The ECOPTC is a program that can convert a plain text message into enciphered text. And, of course, the reverse action - decipher an enciphered message. The ECOPTC uses a simulation of the CSP888/889 (the coding machine that was used on US subs in WW II).
Good luck and Full Speed ahead!

Cheers,

I have over 50 new entries of news. I have made the original file entries a bit more creative and informative. So I'm guessing there are over 150 entries at this time. Last night work was understanding how it works and what can be done and not done in the file itself. Tonight was actual entries. Every Christmas you WILL get a message from CINCPAC! They want you to feel warm and loved as you risk your neck! I did a quick month patrol and the clipboard was not clogged with news. Again, it is toned down so you are not constantly reading the news. Going for the variety measure here. Keep in mind the news will not drop you out of high TC, only operational orders are set up to drop to 1X. Also, they transmit between 1800 hours and 2300 hours, normally when you are on the surface hunt in the night time hours.

I will take the mod and just add my new Airbase Messages to it for my own game.
Looks like we have a new Modder in our ranks!

Thanks for the work!

AVGWarhawk · 09-25-07, 09:59 PM

Fine by me Leo. Still trying to understand the inner workings. If I title it Operational News, I can stop you from high TC, no problem. Some of the original text when altered will not work and I can not figure out why! For example, the first Merry Christmas I set up as high priority and transmit until received.....no dice. At the bottom of the page I retype the who thing with my own message and title it Operational News it works....really stange man. Still working on it.

New patch coming out......hmmmmmm.....

tater · 09-25-07, 10:32 PM

BTW, the new patch was rumored to show enemy bases on the map.

That's another reason I didn't go too far trying to grok leo's mod, adding it to mine would be a LOT of work, I can tell, and if the devs make bases pop onto the map... ouch.

Thanks for the heads-up

AVGWarhawk · 10-08-07, 05:16 PM

Ok, back to work on this. I finally got some message to display. Thanks to Leo and showing my my ills for no messages displaying. Lots to add.

Just don't go getting cross eyed doing it. I know every time I go into that file my eye's wander around when I try to focus on it. But glad I could get you up and running AVGWarhawk for a soon to be mod release. Just one of those dot the I's and Corss the T's things that are easy to miss.

MONOLITH · 10-08-07, 05:37 PM

This is the first time I saw this thread.

Go AVG go! I'm interested.

AVGWarhawk · 10-08-07, 06:16 PM

Ahhhh, my first message of low priority to appear. High priority was not issue. The low priority was the difficult one. Now, on with the history lesson via clipboard.

MONOLITH · 10-08-07, 06:51 PM

By the way AVG, I'm working on a new kaptains log and message book, Like SH3 had.

I hate that stupid clipboard. Maybe these two can go together.

AVGWarhawk · 10-08-07, 06:59 PM

It would be nice if we could type in game. Keep a Capt log that way. How would your log work?

MONOLITH · 10-08-07, 07:02 PM

I just meant the image of the clipboard, replace it with a better background item/book etc.
